Are you facing some tough situations right now? I know things aren't easy for some of my readers. I came across this quote and thought I would share it here.
Though we may not know what trials wait on any of us, we can believe that, as the days in which Job wrestled with his dark maladies are the only days that make him worth remembrance, and but for which his name had never been written in the book of life, so the days through which we struggle, finding no way, but never losing the light, will be the most significant we are called to live.

I love that! The bad times are not just a time to grit your teeth and make it through just waiting for it to be over. No, these are days of significance that may very well be the most important days of your life!
We never know what each day may hold, may it be good or bad. Your trial may be your health, your relationships, loneliness, finances, or any number of things. You may very well be at the end of the trial and not even know it! Can you imagine if you were to give up today and the storm was ending tomorrow? Perhaps a storm is about to hit and you don't even know it. Or maybe your trial is more of a thorn in your side that has no end.
No matter the situation I want to encourage you to look for God's hand in it, holding you, guiding you and molding you for the better. He doesn't want you to become bitter and miserable because of this. He wants you to turn to Him and soften your heart towards Him so that He can do a mighty work in you. There is going to be someone who crosses your path who is dealing with the same thing. You will be the one who can encourage them and understand in a way no one else can! I am praying for God's love, blessing, healing and glory in your life today!!

I'm so glad that you stopped by my site and left a comment. Sure hope you'll drop by again. I will enjoy reading your blogs and getting to know you better!
ReplyDeleteLove the names you've come up to use for your family. I'll be back to visit.
The abortion counter is shocking. Isn't this a sad statement about babies that never got a chance to live outside the womb...so very sad.
God bless you,

Another awesome post--and it comes at just the right time for me.
ReplyDeleteDeanna,

Kris,
ReplyDeleteSo glad it spoke to your heart. Praying for you today!!
A thorn in my side. What a way to look at things. Kind of like the cross we have to bear everyday. I find it's all in my perspective of things. God's ways are so much bigger than ours. Mostly I think, it all boils down to trust. To KNOW He knows what is best for us no matter how much it may hurt or how long it may last.
ReplyDeleteMommyx12,
